Ajika

Ajika or adjika, (Georgian: აჯიკა, Abkhaz: аџьыка, is a Georgian and Abkhazian[1] hot, spicy, but subtly flavored dip, often used to flavor food.[2] In 2018, the technology of ajika was inscribed on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Georgia list.[3]

Common varieties of ajika resemble Italian red pesto in appearance and consistency. Though it is usually red, green ajika is also made with unripe peppers.
